It's on our shortlist but DH thinks it will become really popular because of twilight and as a twi-hater that has really put me off !!

Just wondering if it really is popular . I don't know any personally , but know of one born in 2010 .

I know one and my ds ( james) gets called Jakob (yakob) by locals when we visit my parents

I think it's one of those names that seems common (as in popular) but there are never actually that many about

It wouldn't become popular if everyone knew the only Jacob I know. Holy terror aged 7!.

darthsillius · 11/07/2012 14:27

I know about 3 4 years old Jacobs. Old testament names are generally v popular (well not ones likes Mordecai!)

redrubyshoes · 11/07/2012 14:27

Yes I know one who is three and a Jaikob who is 9.

sleepingcats · 11/07/2012 14:26

Yes, I know 3, aged 3, 4 and 7.

Condover · 11/07/2012 14:25

In know one who's 9, can't think of any others though, apart from in the Jewish Community where I work - there are loads.

Emandlu · 11/07/2012 14:25

Yes, I know a toddler and a 17yo.

suburbandream · 11/07/2012 14:24

I know a couple personally and there are a few at DCs' school, it's quite popular round here. Didn't know it was anything to do with twilight!

DawnOfTheDee · 11/07/2012 14:23
